Looking at the England squad named by Don Fab on Saturday, I was in disbelief. I have been massively disillusioned by the national team ever since it became painfully obvious that Frank Lampard was not good enough, but was never dropped.
This squad is a farce, a joke of a seriously worrying degree.

England’s record all-time goalscorer, is a player and man to be admired. He suffered great tragedy and scaled great heights during his career.

English football has certainly taken its share of abuse lately. Whether it’s the sad state of youth development,  star players’ inability to […]

We all know the stories about Sven-Goran Eriksson and his supposed womanising. Apparently, the Swede has charm in abundance when it comes to the fairer sex, no cheesy chat-up lines as far as old Svennis is concerned. However, it appeared that he’d surpassed himself in Mexico City on Wednesday, rocking up to meet a club […]

When a club finds out there’s interest in one of their top English players, they always seek to raise the value of the player a good 25% more than what they are worth. Paying too much for English players is something that has been occurring over the last few years and this is perhaps one […]

Much to the delight of Blackburn Rovers, the most despised ex-England manager since… well… the last one, has decided to rebuild his reputation abroad.
Former England boss Steve McClaren has been appointed as the new manager of Eredivisie outfit FC Twente on a two-year deal. McClaren was interviewed for the managerial vacancy at Blackburn Rovers in […]

This season has not been kind to Steve McClaren, he torched England’s European Championship campaign, cringed at various times beneath a brolly or alone in the toilet, and has been ripped apart with ego-tearing glee by the press. Things are picking up though…

Rio Ferdinand captained England on their latest outing, a disappointing 1-0 defeat to France. However, the Daily Telegraph report that his Manchester United team-mate Wayne Rooney could be the national team’s captain of the future, if Fabio Capello’s comments are anything to go by.
Much uncertainty surrounds the current England captaincy, with Steven Gerrard, Ferdinand and […]

England fans on Wednesday night might beg to differ but it’s clear that David James is having an astonishing season for Portsmouth, which could result in them winning the FA Cup and landing a place in the UEFA Cup. Just when you thought he had hit the peak of his form, the performance against Wigan […]

Dazza gives us his opinions on Gazza, and the current crop of ne’erdowells.
Well I have just watched England toil to a 1-0 defeat to France. It was interesting on several fronts namely Beckham’s 100th cap, the camaraderie of the French and English with Sarkosy in Buckingham Palace and most obviously Capello’s lack of bravery […]
